EISPIRATEN

I don't know about the water level, but are you entering via the West Fork? The San Gabriel Trailbuilders crew did some work starting from the Smith TH, but I don't think they reached the creek yet.

My guess is that the assessor data is correct but doesn't properly overlay on the topo map due to technical issues not worth exploring.

Better add a crucifix to your ten essentials.

Colin would have blown you away with his knowledge of music. He also knew several languages and worked professionally translating the captions for movie subtitles.

Pretty sweet. Thanks for the report. So, there are no major obstacles going north from the crag to the Alder Creek Trail?

I uploaded a memorial hiking video of Colin. Thanks to Paul, Keith and Cecelia for additional photos. It's still hard to accept that he's gone.

We had plans.

The caltopo fire-activity map doesn't show any hot spots anymore. I guess that means that it's burning very lightly at the moment, and now's the time to go try to squash it. Probably. That matches the CalFire summary. They're saying minimal fire activity now. Screenshot_20240619-174713-830.png

I don't know. It depends on the managers. They can do what's necessary, even though it's designated wilderness. But there tends to be less access, since they don't build roads through wilderness areas.

Looks like the fire has reached the Sespe Wilderness.
Good news, though, is that crews have kept it from jumping the freeway, and containment has increased.

I CAN trivially make it url-like. Do we want that? Is it possible to decorate the resulting link, so it looks distinct from a normal URL? Syntax is easy to remember, so that's good. Make it distinctive with the context of your sentence and the display name of the link. Click here for a topo map of ...

Thanks for the report. David R. has been everywhere. The challenge is finding a hike he hasn't done.

I added the bbcode to one of your earlier posts . Worked ok, after I removed the space after the comma. Definitely ot a big deal, but it'd be nice to have clickable links. I added the link to the rest of Rico's Utah TRs. Thanks for creating this cool feature. The only non-intuitive aspect is having...

The Post Fire started yesterday afternoon in Gorman. It's already over 12,000 acres and only 2% contained, heading toward the Pyramid Lake area.

Could you repeat this info to the Admin & Tech Support forum? Pretty neat. Thanks.

Ha, I forgot to delete this one. Guess it stays for eternity now.

I bet the real Spiderman craps his pants, with all that high G-force activity and all. Thanks for the report.

A snake, a swimming pool, AND A TURTLE!

I think you just won some kind of honorary degree in the hiking arts.

Thanks for the report. I suppose the group that worked on Trail Canyon either didn't finish or hasn't maintained it. Sounds like the rock work on Yerba Buena has held up at the gully crossings.

Thanks for the report! Looks like you had a great adventure. Are cave crickets louder than regular crickets?

I'm glad you didn't get attacked by tiny baby loch ness monster in that sinkhole. Thanks for the report!

Do I get a refund if there's no TP for my bunghole?

I think that one symbol indicates a Bigfoot sighting.

Thanks. What happens if you fall into the vortex? Do you emerge in the Stargate universe?

Thanks for the report! You got some great photos. I wonder how many people develop arch fever and have trouble returning.

Thanks for the report. Next time I suggest carrying a store-bought tortoise in your backpack, then place him on the trail for a photoshoot and say, "Look what was on the trail!"

Thanks for the report. I would totally eat 90% of your pesto dinner. Trailtopia's Pesto Pasta with hemp seed protein is one of my favorites.

Thanks for the report. Panther is a fun peak. Nice to see it with snow.

Thanks for the report. Your description sounds like you were following an old treasure map. Never heard of canyon "fingers." Branches seems like the more appropriate metaphor.

Thanks for the report. If I could hike in two places at once, one location would be Utah. I love all that red rock.
